Our Master Blender Bill Ashburn celebrates 35 years of imagination and craft with this extraordinary limited creation. Art of the Blend tells his story, first the making of wine, then the art of whisky blending.
Ashburn’s creation is our iconic Niagara whisky infused with grapes harvested in the darkest hours of winter. A stunning expression of whisky mastery and experimentation, it is a sensational journey that never ends.
Barrel Select is born
Our most awarded whisky, Barrel Select was first tasted in Canada. A blend of grain whiskies aged in a mix of seasoned ex-Bourbon barrels and new American White Oak. This bold and flavourful whisky changed the game of Canadian whisky.
We proudly introduce the FIRST EVER cask strength whisky from Forty Creek.
This 5-year-old pot-distilled whisky is rich, distinct, and unapologetically bold. Bottled straight from the barrel at 48.5%, it delivers a full flavour with our signature Forty Creek smooth finish.
This limited release premium whisky is a tribute to Master Blender Bill Ashburn’s dedication and resolve to create some of the most awarded Canadian whiskies over the past 20 years. This smooth and complex whisky has an elevated spice profile rounded out with a drop of vintage Villard Noir Port.
This very special Forty Creek Whisky is limited to just 9,200 bottles. For years fans have been asking us to re-release our original Three Grain Whisky. It seemed only fitting that on our 20th Anniversary we should bring back this special Limited Release one last time.

For our 10th annual limited edition, we introduced a special and rare whisky to pay tribute to our founder, John K. Hall. After 10 years of special editions, Founder’s Reserve was a truly fitting way to pay tribute to his legacy
For our 9th annual limited release in 2015, we turned back the clock to revive an original taste expression –the award winning release from almost twenty years ago, Three Grain Whisky. The 2015 expression, however, was bolder and richer, bottled at 43% alc./vol
As our 8th limited release, Forty Creek Evolution literally marked an evolution of both our whiskies and our skills as whisky makers. The 2014 release offered a glimpse into our journey as a company -a journey of discovery and progression. Half of the whisky was aged for 5 years in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels.
Selected 5 year old whisky blended with a small portion of Gewurztraminer Brandy that was produced in house.
Our Port Wood Reserve was released twice –in 2009 and 2012 –as a result of incredible demand for the liquid. The varietal whiskies were aged separately, and once completed, brought together for further rounding out. The resulting whisky was finished in vintage port wood barrels for another two years prior to bottling.
For our 5th limited release in 2011, we took a different approach. We focused in on the grain –highlighting the taste of the varietal grains and showcasing the complexity of the aromas and tastes. The result was an unparalleled harmony of flavours.
